Convert html special Characters

[stsuing]

How would you convert

<span> to &lt;/span&gt

I would like to convert all characters that an XSLT would choke on.

Thanks in advance

I've not much experience with XSLT but could you use character maps or have I misunderstood their usage?

e.g.

Thanks for the response. I may try that. I was really looking for a code c# or vb solution. I was hoping somebody knew of a class that would do that for me

In that case, I think if you create the file using the XmlTextWriter it should convert all special characters for you.

Thanks ca8msm

This is what I was looking for.
Dim str As String = "<span>Hello world</span>"
Console.WriteLine(System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(str).ToString)

Sometimes you know it's in .Net but just can't find it.
